Boys basketball: San Marin withstands furious Tam rally

The difference: The Mustangs (9-11, 3-5) survived a tough road game to stay in the thick of the playoff race. They were up 13 at halftime and led by as many as 17 (47-30) in the third quarter, but had to withstand a furious rally against Tam (9-10, 1-7). The Red-tailed Hawks roared back to within 57-53 in the fourth, but Jason Reyff came up with a big basket late to help San Marin hang on. Reyff finished with 24 points and 12 boards.

From the coach: "Coming into tonight, we said this was a playoff game," the Mustangs' Craig Pitti said. "A couple of losses would mean the end of our season. We had to find a way to win tonight. It was a tough win to get, but we held on and got it."

Notable: Manny Wilkins added 18 points for San Marin. Tam, which had 11 players score and knocked down seven 3-pointers, was by Lorenzo Jordan's 12 points and 10 from Asher Wenig.
